Apartment dweller here, I can’t store it outside and I don’t have a garage, I was getting tired of just having it in the living room so I came up with this slightly better idea.

Anyone have any nice setups for keeping your bikes in your living spaces?

    Leaning against my living room wall where I can see and admire her whenever I like.

            She’s the best. Goes down and up any trail I can find. She’ll jump 8 meters (more if she had a better rider than me) without complaining a bit.

              Making me put the gravel tires back on mine XD

              I wish I had some nice mountain trails around me but unfortunately I live in one of the flattest places on earth

              How do you clean her? any recommendations for the gear train?

                I just spray her down with water and then scrub with dish soap and water. Just make sure you scrub the drive train after the discs so you don’t fuck your brake pads with grease residue. But most of the time I just leave her dirty because I ride most days and it gets old cleaning mud off her. I call it structural mud with my friends. If she sounds rough or the mud starts falling off in chunks I’ll give her a quick wash.

    The downhill bike i don’t ride anymore hangs on my living room wall, the enduro i still ride is in my basement on the bike repair stand or whatever you call it. Ebike hangs on another wall and my bmx just does whatever

    In the shipping container outside. I think the tyres perished. Got a dog that needs to be with me all the time and can’t run fast, so I’m stuck walking instead. I did buy a child trailer thing but couldn’t seem to mount it on the rear wheel quick release hoohaa.

    Awhile back I saw a system where you would hang your bike on the wall using 2 hooks under the top bar. But the hooks have to be long enough so that the wheels don’t touch the wall, or you’ll get black stains from the tyres.

    Not a small space back then, but mine used to sit in the living room, until winter came and the melting snow would drip on the hardwood and the carbide studs would scatch the floor. So then my wife asked if I would mind bringing it down to the basement, which was reasonable. Now we are in a small condo, with no space for the bike, so it is chained to your parking stall pillar, and then extra llocks and chains through the wheels and frame.

    One in my cold shed, my main one in my heated tool shed and the third one in the attic space of that same shed waiting for frame repair.

    I pulled a peice of furniture out from the wall and tucked it behind when I lived in an apartment.

    I have fairly deep wall-mounted shelves on a wall starting a little over waist high. I can fit a bike or two in the space under those shelves without really taking up extra floor space

        Well, my bike is currently on the healing bench, and I dont have a pic, but it essentially is like what you are already doing. Just instead of a table top like you have, it’s a shelf, and there’s more shelves above that one.
